With the S−LINK control unit, I/O data is refreshed by the CPUs of both the FP0 section
and the S−LINK section, through the memory shared between them.

control unit turned on
When the power supply to the S−LINK control unit is turned on, it takes approximately
2.6 seconds for the S−LINK I/O data to be verified by the FP0 section. Be particularly
careful with regard to the FP0 sequence program, if using the S−LINK input at the b
contact relay when the power supply is turned on.
